DVD Reviews of Pootie Tang
DVD Review: Whata-Ta My Damies
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie never gets old. Great humor. Chris Rock plays multiple roles, each hilarious. What a great movie. Watch it!DVD Review: Hilarious and thought provoking
Summary: 5 Stars
Hilarious on the surface and thought provoking when looked at thoroughly. I have seen the movie numerous times and fashion the plot to a modern day version of Samson and Delilah. Delilah seducing Samson and cutting his hair in order to steal his strength and make him vunerable, much like Ireenie stealing Pootie's belt so that he loses his mojo. Funny plot, great clothes and Wanda Sykes steals every scene in which she performs. Love it.DVD Review: not sure about it
Summary: 3 Stars
it's alright, but i need to really sit and watch it closer, i don't fully understand the point of this movie.DVD Review: Just say no nay to formula
Summary: 5 Stars
Unforgettable! I was stunned with my mouth open through the whole thing. Pootie walks on air from beginning to end. Luckily there's no acting here (except for Bob Costas who's perfectly terrible at it). There's no Hollywood formula; in fact, no formula. If it were a polished movie it would be idiotic and would give away all its honesty. It's a Chris Rock thing. Kid-like honesty with a brutal punch. A morality play about morality and it succeeds, I think, in giving a silly trashing to the simplistic morality constantly thrown at blacks (and others) while doing it so innocently it doesn't ever have to admit to any manipulation or blaxploitation. At the same time it turns that black music-video culture into looking at itself and maybe frees it from the resistant aspect which seems designed to appear impenetrable to those external moral demands and judgments. As Jung said, "What you resist, persists." This kid's regressing to speaking in tongues. A pidgin language is a simple language which arises between two groups of people who don't speak the same language. Pootie's pidgin is a start that many of us might agree on. Whether your reaction is "sepatown" or "sa da tay", if you don't get a laugh out of it, this movie's for you.DVD Review: One of my favorite comedy movies.
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a movie that you really have to understand to enjoy. It employs a distinct style of humor that I find funny. The way that Pootie beats up people (like Dirty D and Bad Biddy) with his piggly wiggly belt, is absolutely hilarious. This is really one of those movies that some people will hate and others will love. I thought that that it had a unique story with fascinating characters. If you like movies like "How High", "Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle", "Next Friday", and "The Pest," then I think you will like this movie as well. It really has a cartoon-esque feel to it that I definitely enjoyed. I have watched this movie at least 10 times and I am still not sick of it.
Description of Pootie Tang
Pootie Tang pushes blaxploitation to the point of surrealism. The title character--who first appeared on The Chris Rock Show--speaks a kind of slang on steroids, an incomprehensible stream of nonsense syllables that nonetheless makes him irresistible to women and a threat to evildoers everywhere. Pootie is part movie star, part superhero, righting wrongs with the slap of his daddy's belt. But when an evil corporation uses a super-ho named Ireenie (Jennifer Coolidge from Best in Show and Legally Blonde) to steal this magic belt, Pootie must find himself again. In the title role, Lance Crouther glides through the movie like Isaac Hayes's skinny younger brother, while Chris Rock lends his trademark bark to multiple roles, including Pootie's father. Crazed editing and a great soundtrack give Pootie Tang a little extra oomph. A bizarre comedy, likely to develop a cult following. Cameos by Missy Elliot and Bob Costas. --Bret FetzerGeneral DVDs
